This page compiles publicly available administrative and government-portal information as of July 2026. Panchayat boundaries, office contacts, and scheme rules can change — always confirm current details with the Udakishunganj Block/Anchal office or the official portal linked below before relying on them.

The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme runs Anganwadi Kendras (centres) across every panchayat in Bihar, including throughout Udakishunganj block, providing supplementary nutrition, pre-school education, immunization referrals, and health check-ups for children under six, along with support for pregnant and lactating mothers.

Official tracking: Poshan Tracker (poshantracker.in), the central government's ICDS monitoring app/portal, is used nationwide, including in Madhepura district, to record Anganwadi attendance, nutrition status, and service delivery.

Services available at an Anganwadi Kendra

  • Supplementary nutrition (take-home ration or on-site meals) for children under 6, and for pregnant/lactating women
  • Pre-school (non-formal) education for children aged 3-6
  • Growth monitoring and referral for immunization
  • Health and nutrition awareness sessions for mothers
  • Referral services to the nearest Primary Health Centre (PHC) for serious health needs

How to find your local Anganwadi Kendra

Every panchayat in Udakishunganj block (see our panchayat list) has at least one Anganwadi Kendra, run by an Anganwadi Worker and Helper under the supervision of the block's Child Development Project Officer (CDPO). The panchayat office or mukhiya's office can point you to the exact centre and worker serving your village if you're unsure.

Udakishunganj tip: registration for a new child or pregnant woman is done directly with the Anganwadi Worker at your local centre — no separate online application is required for basic enrollment, though some benefit disbursements are now tracked digitally via Poshan Tracker.

Who oversees Anganwadis at the block level

The Child Development Project Officer (CDPO), based at or near the Udakishunganj block office, supervises all Anganwadi Kendras in the block, handles worker/helper postings, and is the point of escalation if a centre isn't functioning as expected.

The bottom line

Anganwadi services in Udakishunganj are village-level and enrollment is handled locally — start with your panchayat's Anganwadi Worker, and escalate to the block CDPO's office only if there's a service gap that isn't resolved locally.
